abxytg··on Ask HN: Was anyone working at Apple during Steve Jobs' return in 1997?

abxytg··on Replit Mobile App
I love it. The next app that eats our lunch is going to be written by some kid on a school bus. That is killer.
abxytg··on Back to Android for the time being
It's very clear he is talking about black boxes from the perspective of one trying to reverse one to fix pinephones isp...
abxytg··on Arrest of suspected developer of Tornado Cash
If you don't mix your coins I can see you have signed up. If you do mix your coins I cannot. When I say I, I literally mean I could check the chain and see you were a vpn user. After mixing I (me) can no longer see if you are paying for a vpn. Hope that clears it up lol.
abxytg··on Dusting “Attack” via Tornado Cash to Public Wallets
One of the most interesting implications of this is that it is a slight vindication of the bitcoin maximalist "bitcoin fixes this" mantra. If a government can't exercise control over your unit of account, it doesn't matter what they sanction.

Of course the "bitcoin" that "fixes this" isn't the one we have in reality -- you can't use it widely and cheaply to transact and it's so volatile as to be useless as the unit of account for anyone with more than a few thousand $ nw.

abxytg··on I Looked into 34 Top Real-World Blockchain Projects So You Don’t Have To
What is this crap lol. TA on the first 16 Google results for a series of buzzwords. Good luck finding a thing good there for any industry. Someone should parody this with "real world users e commerce"
abxytg··on Ask HN: Higher order derivatives in everyday life?
.......not that type of derivative
abxytg··on Ask HN: Higher order derivatives in everyday life?
driving is higher order derivative thinking (speed, rates of change in speed, relative rates of change in speed) and this is why most people suck at it.
abxytg··on A fake job offer took down Axie Infinity
Yep. Bad opsec at the org level. Either the eng was doing work stuff on a personal laptop or personal stuff on a work laptop. This is easily preventable and should be table stakes when handling money, phi, etc
abxytg··on The Bullshit Web (2018)
Here's one -- cloud saves! Remember carrying floppies?

How about real time collaborative editing?

All the above cross platform?

C'mon now be realistic :).

abxytg··on The Bullshit Web (2018)
> Is an old late-'90s version of Microsoft Word that could run on a machine with 4MB of RAM really a thousand times better than one from today that requires 4GB?

100,000x even. Obviously yes! Even the web -- the things the higher resource caps enable are unbelievable. Yes bottom feeding news sites are worse for it, boo hoo. Have you see the shit you can do in a web browser today? On any device? It's so, so, so much cooler and better than anything the 90s had.

abxytg··on The new wave of React state management
I've been running into nasty performance with setRecoilState and large piece of state firing multiple times per frame.
abxytg··on At the Bored Ape restaurant, your ApeCoin is no good now
It's not hard.

"Surely this will appreciate, I am a genius"

abxytg··on As weed gets more potent, teens are getting sick
Sorry for the cranky response, I actually agree with most of what you said aside from the small misunderstanding about hyperimesis vs acute od
abxytg··on As weed gets more potent, teens are getting sick
Hyperemesis, as the article says, only effects some users. Clearly you are not one. I smoke every day but I can at least finish the article.
abxytg··on Downtown S.F. on the brink: It’s worse than it looks
Yea good luck getting a DA to move the needle on any of those state or federal policies you named. Clown show of a recall. Clown show of a city.
abxytg··on Downtown S.F. on the brink: It’s worse than it looks
Name an unsustainable social policy to end
abxytg··on Downtown S.F. on the brink: It’s worse than it looks
The answer is easy. Crime is down and so not oft reported in articles like this. VC funded articles and social movements are loudly screaming about it. VC / billionaire fanboys are happy to pick up the slack in the comment section.
abxytg··on Downtown S.F. on the brink: It’s worse than it looks
Y'all need to learn to take what VCs say about this stuff with a grain of salt.
abxytg··on Ask HN: Best beginner friendly linear algebra book?
What are you learning for? I'm in the industry learning for work in medical image visualization.
abxytg··on It costs $110k to fully gear up in Diablo Immortal
People are mad as hell for no reason about this one. It's honestly decent monetization and the free game is great.
abxytg··on Coffeezilla, a YouTuber Exposing Crypto Scams
"Something which doesn't break the trust Anker of a Blockchain by having any dependency outside of a Blockchain."

Only the critics look for this type of weird ideological purity. the rest of us just want somewhere to use the value we create.

abxytg··on Germany: Crypto held for more than a year will not get taxed
that is not by any stretch of the imagination what I am saying. I also am very very far from all in on crypto ideologically and financially.

The poster above was parroting concerns du jour about bitcoin miners to shit on a policy regarding bitcoin nodes. I'm just saying lets be serious in our critiques.

abxytg··on Germany: Crypto held for more than a year will not get taxed
One day we'll have the conversation about how the anti-crypto conversation is mostly gross groupthink and at least two or three struggling devrel influencers are now anti-crypto media darlings. If you're going to push an agenda at least make it one that wasn't handed to you shrink wrapped.
abxytg··on GraphQL Is a Trap?
Every time I start with Graphql in surprised that I'm writing all the routes and middleware I'd need with with a restful api in express. I feel like I'm missing the point.
abxytg··on Homes in 97% of U.S. cities are overvalued, Moody's says
Oh man yes they are. Buying a house right now is a complete circus and lottery. Competition is insane and everything sells in two weeks max.
abxytg··on The growing discontent behind Nintendo’s fun facade
I think you only need to look at things like which games make the most money and which games are most viewed on twitch / youtube etc. Undoubtedly there is still a great market for single player and couch co op games. Nintendo is king here because their copyright moat lets them make the same 4 games every 3 years and we all buy them.
abxytg··on The growing discontent behind Nintendo’s fun facade
splatoon 2 was so, so sad. just really obviously bad decisions that made playing with friends impossible. Maybe to avoid smurfs / stompers? But at the cost of precluding anyone that likes playing with their friends.
abxytg··on The growing discontent behind Nintendo’s fun facade
I would argue that their hit rate is a lot lower than it has been. Sure, the zelda and mario / mario kart rehashes sell like hotcackes. But their secondary franchises are stagnating hard.
